The show was known for its fast-paced action, colorful animation, and catchy theme song.

Finders Keepers: Stinkbert finds a Mighty Teeny Weeny Jack roadside, and - despite having espied Ump using one earlier that day - wonders whose it is.

Stinkbert spends many happy hours with the Mighty Teeny Weeny Jack, finding it useful in all situations!

But GT is still reluctant to see a dentist, and goes for a drive, where he happens upon Dr Denny whose jalopy has broken down at the side of the road.
